The Best Waffles Ever

I'm an obsessive maker. I love to cook, bake, roast my own coffee, and garden. Bread and soup and ice cream make me very happy! mmmm.

2 large eggs, at room temperature; separated

1 ½ cups (340g) buttermilk, at room temperature

2 tablespoons (28g) butter, melted

2 tablespoons (25g) vegetable oil, for added crispness; optional, but good

1 cup (120g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

4 teaspoons yellow cornmeal or cornstarch

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon table salt*

½ teaspoon granulated sugar

note: hanks to reader feedback, we've decreased the salt in the recipe from its original ½ teaspoon to ¼ teaspoon.
